Abstract [en]

The project consists of a system that is developed for the homes of the elderly.The system is a board that simply conveys days and activities that will come and also pictures from days and activities that took place earlier days. The activity board/ digital screen will clarify what is going on at the home of the elderly today, and also show easily what is happening the day to come. Employees at the home for the elderly are going to take pictures during the day and in a simple way put them into the system so the elderly and their relatives easily can be able to see what happens at the home for the elderly.

Through this board, it is possible to easily provide information to the elderly. It can be information as a reminder of a user survey, notify the different activities or news that the home has been taking a part of. The digital screen also gives the opportunity to see photos of the staff that works, a connection to the municipal website and more. The digital screen also makes the elderly move around more when they get to and from the digital screen, and it is an activity in itself to click on the digital screen and choose what they want to see.The digital screen is produced through an agile system development method in which cooperation between the developers and the receivers of the system has played a central role. The theories about human-computer interaction has been applied in deciding on the design and features of the screen. This because the focus has been to create a system that is as user-friendly as posible.
